Constantine director Francis Lawrence is set to helm Warner Bros. Pictures children's fantasy
Awful End, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie is based on Philip Ardagh's novel 'A House Called Awful End', which tells the story of an 11-year-old British boy who finds himself in the questionable care of Mad Uncle Jack and Mad Aunt Maud when his parents become ill.
The relatives turn him over to St. Horrid's Home for Grateful Orphans, where he stages a breakout with other orphans.
